Re: Is stereotypically gay to wear short jeans?

This style was more common in the 70's- early 80's. Then in the later 80's early 90's knee length "Board Shorts" became more popular, leading to the baggy assed style of today. I imagine the 70's - 80's is trying to make a come back.

I dont mind the skinny jeans thing for some reason. As long as they arent 'dick outline' tight, I find them appealing. Fitted suits and pants arent bad especially on tall men. Though I know some women hate them on men.

well, it's a good thing you mentioned that because i would like your opinion on wiz khalifa's jeans. do you think that they're about right or too tight? those jeans are looking extra

one thing about the closet/you don't have to hurry/it will be bad tomorrow/so brother, don't you worry

Lol, I get why you would say that. I think that its because he is really skinny. I dont think that they look all that bad. They are tight but I dont mind them. They probably wouldn't work for someone else. Though I suspect that it could be a turn off for others.

they just look funny as hell.

hell skinny jeans isn't even healthy at all. they can actually twist up the testicles if they're tight like that where there's no ball room. either way, it looks silly. skinny guys look funny with them on. tall or short. husky guys are no exception. i will never forget last year 4th of july when my homeboys, my bro and me were walking up 5th ave heading up towards 23rd street. we saw two bulky guys wearing bootyhugging capris with flannel shirts walking around with their girlfriends. the capris were tighter than what wiz khalifa had and they were short as all hell basically cut off at the knee exposing their ankle. i don't know how those dudes managed to get into those jeans to begin with, don't want to know but to this day, i still am wondering how those dudes managed to walk around all comfortable as if their legs weren't being strangled.

another thing that gets me is guys that actually walk around sagging their pants wearing skinny jeans. how do they manage to walk around without having to trip themselves?

i was trying to hop on the skinny jeans trend for a second because i thought that dressing up in tighter clothes would make me embrace my sexuality more but it's not my thing. i have to say though that i think i look adorable in my purple top and my black skinny jeans though. i'm used to wearing jeans with room though. skinny jeans go well for some guys and other guys need to leave it alone like this guy right here. a 43 year old man dressing up like he's 16.

Re: Is stereotypically gay to wear short jeans?

The first rule to dressing yourself is being comfortable and owning whatever it is that you put on your body. If you are not completely comfortable in something, or feel like you are stepping outside of your comfort zone, it will show and people will take note.

With that said, I do not think (in general) one should wear jorts or super skinny jeans in general public places. Just like a woman is looked at funny for wearing a low cut shirt and mini skirt to shop at the mall, a guy shouldn't dress too overtly sexual if they are not in an environment that lends itself to such ventures.

If you like skinny jeans:
Try a slim fit jean (where a straight leg jean will have the pant cuff the same width as the knee, a slim jean will have it slightly smaller). The tapering starts mainly after the thigh so it wont be too "oh there's his penis" to anyone looking at you, yet will still give that fashion look of a skinny jean (pair it with larger or more padded shoes for that skater-cartoonish look if it's something you like).

If you like jorts:
Try wearing a dressier short, like a bermuda short. The summer's past trend in shorts was above the knee (by about an inch or two, being noticeably shorter than 'normal'). You can still show off your legs and do it without being to forward about it.

Re: Is stereotypically gay to wear short jeans?

Getting back to the original question. I think that short jeans are really sexy, but haven't been the style for years and look gay now by comparison to what has been in style the last several years. Skinny pants are coming back into style even though they were out of style for many years, so maybe shorter shorts will come back into style too. Shorter shorts need a rock star or someone to reintroduce them to become acceptable. I would like to see that happen.

Re: Is stereotypically gay to wear short jeans?

Stereotypical? I dunno -- I think they're practical: easy on when nude at the beach and someone with little kids shows up, easy off when the weather's hot and a swimming hole is at hand.

"Thirty-one* states allow all qualified citizens to carry concealed weapons. In those states, homosexuals should embark on organized efforts to become comfortable with guns, learn to use them safely and carry them. They should set up Pink Pistols task forces, sponsor shooting courses and help homosexuals get licensed to carry. And they should do it in a way that gets as much publicity as possible. "

Hey! I wore them like that as cheap swim trunks when they were too ripped to use as pants! Of course I was in my teens as well...
Most boys wore cut off jeans as swim trunks back then. Looked damn nice, too.

Honestly, I don't like going to the beach any more because the board shorts look absolutely stupid as long as they are, and I certainly don't feel comfortable swimming in a pair. I may as well wear normal pants!

Stupid fashion.... why are men so scared to show their legs these days? And women can show EVERYTHING????

Re: Is stereotypically gay to wear short jeans?

Hypothesis:

there are two populations, one of men who like to wear short shorts, the other of gay men. These two sets have significant overlap, enough that wearing short shorts has come to be associated with being gay.

On anyone but a bicyclist, yeah, I would assume the guy is gay. I know that the perceptions are different in much of Europe though.
